Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 5 Scout Picks features Liverpool triple-up

A Liverpool triple-up forms the spine of our Gameweek 5 Scout Picks for Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

After Sam, Az, Neale and Tom submitted their Scout Squad selections earlier this week, we have chosen our best players ahead of tonight’s 18:30 BST deadline.

We line up in a 4-4-2 formation and we’ve used every penny of our £83.0m budget.

GOALKEEPER

With our expensive purchases further forward, we needed a £4.5m option for goalkeeping duties this week. Aaron Ramsdale (£4.5m) fits the bill after a debut that earned huge plaudits from his manager, and it was no surprise that the Gunners finally recorded their first clean sheet of the campaign when they had their first-choice back four all available for the first time. The rotation risk can’t be eliminated, especially after this match, but a clash with Burnley doesn’t seem like the time to reinstate Bernd Leno (£4.9m) give his inability to handle crosses.

DEFENDERS

Thomas Tuchel’s Blues have had the best backline in Europe since January and are yet to concede from open play this season. Weekend opponents Tottenham Hotspur offered very little in the final third in Gameweek 4, registering just two shots, and are a lowly joint-18th for big chances created in 2021/22. That lack of goal threat, plus an injury crisis in north London, makes us keen on Chelsea representation at the back. It’s always a nerve-wracking game trying to second-guess Tuchel’s line-ups but Reece James (£5.6m) at least had a ‘rest’ last weekend thanks to suspension and his tallies of four shots and five key passes in just 161 minutes of pitch-time really catches the eye.

On the subject of solid defences, Manchester City’s often doesn’t get the attention it deserves thanks to their exploits further forward. The reigning champions are on a run of three clean sheets and have remarkably only conceded one shot on target since the opening weekend, with even Ederson (£6.0m) smothering that effort at source. With injuries to other centre-halves and concern over possible rotation at full-back, mainstay Ruben Dias (£6.0m) is the safe play.

A home match against Palace might have looked like a stonewall banker for a clean sheet under the dour Roy Hodgson but Patrick Vieira has got the Eagles playing with a bit more attacking verve since his appointment. But shut-outs are only a small part of the reason why we love Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) so much, and the Liverpool right-back is in red-hot form: over his last 14 matches, the prolific chance creator is averaging 7.8 FPL points per match.

Marcal (£4.6m) delivered the goods for us last week but we’re changing flanks for Wolves representation against a Brentford outfit who look solid at the back but who are struggling up top. Marcal has generally been providing service from out wide but Nelson Semedo (£4.9m) is the one who has been more regularly drifting infield into threatening goalscoring positions and had two of the six big chances that Wolves created last weekend. Semedo’s 11 penalty box touches is a tally beaten by only two FPL defenders this season.

MIDFIELDERS

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 2? 6

The solid centre-half pairing of Marc Guehi (£4.5m) and Joachim Andersen (£4.5m) look like they could really improve the fortunes of Palace’s backline this season but after Liverpool racked up 52 shots against Leeds United and AC Milan in the last week, we can’t look past the Reds on home soil. Serious consideration was given to a rested Sadio Mane (£11.9m) after he registered an eye-catching 10 goal attempts against the Whites but it was unsurprisingly his two attacking comrades who instead received the bulk of the votes in this week’s Scout Squad.

Mohamed Salah‘s (£12.5m) totals of 16 goal attempts, 14 shots in the box and 12 chances created all rank among the top three players in the Premier League this season, while his points-per-match average of 9.5 is the best among FPL midfielders. And Diogo Jota (£7.7m), as he did for much of the previous campaign, is right up there Liverpool’s premium midfield pair for underlying stats: a total of 0.99 big chances per 90 minutes is even better than what Salah is managing this season. Had it not been for Mane’s wastefulness in Gameweek 4, the Portuguese – who carved out six chances last Sunday – would have dodged a blank.

With slight concerns over Ferran Torres’ (£7.2m) minutes after five successive starts for club and country over the last fortnight, we’ve opted for a relatively rested Ilkay Gundogan (£7.3m) as our not-entirely-risk-free route into a potent Manchester City attack. Gundogan evoked memories of last season’s purple patch with his stats against Leicester last weekend, racking up six shots and four key passes.

We have yet to see the best of Leeds this season but as luck would have it, along come Newcastle United. The Magpies are woeful at the back, bottom of the table for goals conceded and big chances allowed. They also shipped seven goals to Marcelo Bielsa’s side last season across their two meetings. Raphinha (£6.5m) has yet to catch fire but still sits 14th among FPL midfielders for expected goal involvement (xGI) despite facing fairly sturdy backlines in Manchester United, Everton and Liverpool.

FORWARDS

The best FPL forwards to consider as Calvert-Lewin and Antonio replacements 7

On the subject of the Friday night game, Patrick Bamford (£7.9m) was cleared to play by his manager to quieten the social media frenzy around a possible ‘pinged’ hamstring. Among the top five Fantasy forwards for penalty box touches and shots in the opposition box despite the tricky start to the season, the striker averaged 5.89 points per match in away fixtures last season and four of his five double-digit hauls came on the road.

It was a toss-up between Romelu Lukaku (£11.6m) and Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.6m) for our premium forward slot. With little to separate their own credentials, it’s as much about the opposition this weekend. Nuno Espirito Santo’s counter-attacking Spurs look like they will fare better against the bigger teams this season but are ravaged by injury going into Sunday’s game. West Ham, meanwhile, have registered just two clean sheets in their last 15 Premier League fixtures (both against Southampton) but may well set up in a more defensive shape in east London, as they did in both league meetings with the Red Devils last weekend. The Portuguese gets the nod, marginally, with the Hammers’ loss of an out-ball in Michail Antonio (£7.9m) likely to invite more pressure and the form of Craig Dawson (£5.0m) iffy.

THE CAPTAIN

Who are the best captain options for FPL Gameweek 36+?

    Morning all.

    Looking for some advice on Pereira... Any Leicester fans or anyone have any insight on wether he is fit or should start etc.. ?

    1. Lord Flashheart

      you can boil a soft egg to the times that pereira is not injured

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tricky, obviously Home to Watford the better fixture, but due to Duffy's goal threat and Brighton having the better defence, I'd go B.

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Fair point

      Leicester concede a lot of headed goal attempts. I'd go for Duffy

  3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    Morning all!!! Best option from these two from next week???

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B. He is definitely being going under the radar imo. Will be my keeper on 4.5 on wildcard I think

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I think so too mate, I have Bachman and Foster and if I go for him in place of foster there’s good fixture for Watford when palace have City

    Hi guys,

    Thoughts on the below WC team.
    Who is a viable 6m midfielder, I have Traore at the moment.
    Any one else better?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - James - Semedo - Williams
    Salah - Jota - Raphina - Traore
    Ronaldo - Lukaku

    Gunn - Sissoko - Livramento - Scarlett

    1. Willmissudimitrypayet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like it! Start with Traore and look at Gallagher in a few weeks

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Your bench suffers from the three big hitters but it's otherwise fine.

  5. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) White to Semedo
    B) Ayling to Semedo
    C) Benrahma to up to 7.1

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Ayling White
    Salah Jota Greenwood Raphinha Benrahma
    Ronaldo

    Livramento Scarlett Antonio

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. Fadi AMJK
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I am facing the same dilemma
      will probably transfer out Benrahma for Raphinha due to concerns regarding Benrahme minutes and Leeds good fixture and bring in Semedo instead of Ayling next week as I don't see a hit justified

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks all. Yeah I have Raph so I think I'll give benrahma at least another week but your move sounds good. Def not worth a hit for Semedo.

  6. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play
    A. Reguilon
    B. Ayling

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

  7. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I’ve got Toney, Antonio and 1 transfer

    A) save FT - Play Toney & Veltman - bench Antonio - means I can move Toney to Bamford next week for free

    B) Antonio -> Bamford - Play Toney & Bamford - bench Veltman - means I lose 0.2 on Antonio and prob have to take a hot to remove Toney next week.

  8. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pretty set on this wc team barring any news in the pressers. Thoughts?

    Sanchez
    Taa James cancelo semedo
    Salah raphina Sarr doucoure
    Ronaldo lukaku

    4.0 mccarthur Omo scarlett

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Similar enough to mine, so I like it.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers mate, good luck

    2. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would rather Gallagher over Doucoure as a long term option.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Plan to get in Gallagher once his tough fixtures are over

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      As a palace fan mcarthur is great. 2nd best midfielder we have. But with Hughes and Luka returning and at 34. He isn't nailed longer term but he will play often and has an assist and shot on him

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, would you rather get sissoko or bissouma?

    4. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Anyway you can upgrade Omo? Cancelo and James are potentially rotation risks. If they both miss out you could potentially be playing 10 players.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Can only upgrade Omo by downgrading elsewhere. Omo and Sarr > Liv and Gallagher?

  9. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Webster (if out) for a hit to Semedo or just play Brownhill? Also lets me bench White vs Spurs next week and play Semedo

  10. FPLShaqiri
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    One week punt as wildcarding next week.
    a) Cancelo
    b) Dias
    c) any other defender (got TAA)

    Gilmour first bench.

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Robbo? Of the above Dias just cause if Cancelo gets benched it will hurt.

      1. FPLShaqiri
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Triple Liverpool already (should have said). Thanks, 1 for Dias and 1 for Cancelo so far. Guess it depends how much of a risktaker I am 🙂

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Wwiw I'm getting Cancelo on WC but with decent bench as back up.

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A with bench

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Good bench

  11. claretparrot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On WC... Reasons not to just go with Lukaku now and ignore CR7?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yup

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Meant I would maybe bring in Lukaku then

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      CR7 eats drinks breathes and sleeps goals.

      He is inevitable

    3. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm tempted as would only captain twice in the next 10 weeks.

      1. claretparrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This is where I'm at. Salah has my armband next two, and after that I'd be switching anyway.

        Spurs is a better fixture than WHU this week, IMO.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Too many

    5. Daniyal
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      mainly for the GW6 Aston villa at home
      solid (C) there
      and GW7 he has everton at home so that's not too bad aswell if u keep him in ur team then

      depends on weather the rest of team has many long term picks so u'll need less FTs and can easily do ronaldo --> lukaku or if u have many players like Jota who if starts getting regularly benched( Firmino return) so u'll need more FTs so going lukaku is safer

    6. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on what you are doing with the rest of the money tied up in Ronaldo.

      I'm on wildcard at the moment and am on Ronaldo just because of that Aston Villa home game. You would expect Ronaldo to score more points than Lukaku over the next 2 game weeks and if he goes off against Villa, when Lukaku plays City it's going to kill your rank as everyone and their Dog will have captained Ronaldo.

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Salah C v Brentford isnt so bad.

  12. GE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1) Toney -> Pukki
    2) Toney -> Edouard
    3) Benrahma -> Raph

    1. Golden Company
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It’s risky but I’d got Pukki given fixtures

    2. cheeky moses
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      3

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not a fan of any to be honest.

    4. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      3

    5. NorwEagles
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I fancy the punt on Edouard long term, but it probably won't pay off this week...

  13. Trovsmash
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A. Antonio to Bamford
    B. Hold - play Ayling
    C. Antonio and Shaw to Auby and Coady -4

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B > A > C

    2. Golden Company
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B - I think Antonio is worth holding if you’ve got him.

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B keep ant man

    4. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B defo

    5. Champione
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    6. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B but you could replace ayling with a wolves defender

  14. Golden Company
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard team - is it G2G - also start James or not?

    Sanchez(4.0)
    Cancelo, TAA, Semedo, (James, Omoba)
    Salah(c), Jota, Pogba, Torres, Bernardo
    Lukaku, Pukki (4.5m)

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Interesting City triple up. I'd place James ahead of Semedo. Can see Chelsea keeping clean sheet and scoring a few against Spurs. Though City rotation may solve your problem for you.

      1. Golden Company
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I think you’re probably right, May go for James

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very bottom heavy. Not that there's anything wrong with big bottoms.

      1. Golden Company
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Haha indeed there is arguably a lot of things right with big bottoms…

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like Bernardo as a pickup. So much competition with De Bruyne and Foden back.

      1. Golden Company
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks yeah, I was thinking of having him this week v Southampton then bring in Raph

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would rather play James compared to Pukki

      1. Golden Company
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hmm yeah maybe Pukki is a mistake, not a lot love for him. I’d liked his fixtures but rethinking now.

  15. Bobby_Baggio
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Evening all. Which one please? 1.2m ITB. Cheers all.

    Sanchez
    Coufal - TAA - Shaw - White
    Salah - Jota - Raph - Benrahma
    Toney - Ronaldo

    Livramento - Brownhill - Antonio

    A) Save
    B) Coufal > Marcal
    C) Coufal + Toney > Marcal + Bamford -4
    D) Anything else

    1. Golden Company
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B for me, with A a close second

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        not feeling bam?

        1. Golden Company
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I’m a bit on the fence about Leeds, and you’ve got Raph already… but if you’re confident on Leeds Bam is of course a good shout.

    2. cheeky moses
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like C.

  16. NorwEagles
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I'm 0.1 of what I really want to do, of course, so would you rather have:

    A. Benrahma and McArthur (on the bench)
    B. Raphina and dead player third bench (Delph. Other two bench players Williams and Livramento)

    1. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      3rd sub as complete fodder is fine imo.

    Do you think Harvey Barnes starts on Sunday? Did well in Leicester's Europa match but played the full 90..

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think he starts blanking again yeah

  21. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all. So I think I’m set on this WC.

    What do you reckon?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA James Marcal Livramento Williams
    Salah Jota Raphinha Gray Gallagher
    Ronaldo Lukaku 4.5

    Thanks!

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks grand. Personally prefer dropping one of Ronaldo or Lukaku and strengthening in all areas, but if you've decided to go for all three big hitters that's about as good as it gets.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thank you! Yes, I wrestled with it for a while but I’m quite set on that approach. Looked at the fixtures long term and even the cheap defenders dovetail quite well, so I think I’m all in on the heavy hitters!

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Good luck!

            Thanks, you too!

    2. Golden Company
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like - you could put in Omobamidele at 3.9 for Williams. May be worth having that spare 0.1 while available.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Certainly a consideration - Williams worth the extra 0.1 for attacking potential? Annoying to miss out on potential moves for 0.1 though!

        1. Golden Company
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Personally I think you’ll rarely play him so I’d take the 0.1m but think about your next few possible changes over next few GWs if anybody you’d want might price rise that may be the reason to with Omoba.

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Thank you. Good luck!

  22. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone going with Tierney on WC?

    1. ExpressoMySonny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Many

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like him but have gone White due to budget.

    4. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking of rotating him with Gray

    5. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Toss up between Semedo and him for me. Wolves just look the better side at the moment. Whereas Tierney is the only Arsenal player I'd consider. Could switch after a couple convincing displays by Arsenal though.

    6. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nope but looked at him
      TAA l Cancelo l James l Semedo l Livramento for me

    7. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He is nailed into my side.
      Nice price. Attacking returns not unlikely. In the next 7 Palace is probably the team doing best attacking wise at the moment, and they got that fixture at home.

      TAA / James / Tierney / Semedo / Livramento

  23. SalahFingers
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jansson or White?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

  24. ExpressoMySonny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which one
    A) Bamford (triple leeds)
    B)Jimi
    C)Watkins

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  25. Murdylicious82

    Any thoughts on Pukki's good run of fixtures?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's definitely a good run of fixtures.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nice diff

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Decent option, just worries me how he gets pulled around 70 mins, could be a nice placeholder for someone like Armstrong when his fixtures change

    4. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      My thinking is that opponents in that run have good matches vs them, not the other way round?

    5. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It is a late Pukki Party, but it is about to start with a 9pointer against Watford!

    6. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not a bad enabler if you can't afford Bamford (like me)

  26. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Coufal (MUN, lee) + Digne (mun)
    B) Semedo (BRE, sou NEW) -4

    1. ExpressoMySonny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I did B for a FT fwiw. For a -4 for a defender over 3 games he needs to return 1.33 more than Coufal per game over 3 games. Coufal price might drop.

  27. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    a) Dias
    b) Cancelo
    c) Reece
    d) Rudiger

    Please rate this in favoured order

    Many thanks

        Agreed

    2. n-doggg

      Can’t really go work with any of these Long term
      C, d, a, b

      B potentially more rotation only reason at end

  28. n-doggg

    0.1 itb. Save FT, gtg?

    Sanchez
    TAA, coady, white
    Salah(c), raphinia, traore, sarr, sissoko
    Ronaldo, Lukaku

    Antonio, Williams, livermanto, Steele

    1. NorwEagles
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You're good to save, but I'd consider playing Williams over Sissoko this week.

  29. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Watkins and Gray for Toney & Dallas?

    Good or bad move on FT? I know Watkins has tricky fixtures

    1. Hint
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Watkins can score against good sides as we saw last season. I fancy Villa to start improving soon. Considering Jacob Ramsey as a punt for my 5th midfielder instead of Sissoko.

  30. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on below options? 1 FT and zero ITB. Kept Barnes this long due to other issues, feel like I should give him another week now.

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, White, Coufal
    Salah, Greenwood, Torres, Benrahma, Barnes
    Ronaldo

    Steele, Tsimikas, Richardson, Antonio*

    A) Barnes to Raphinha
    B) Coufal to Semedo
    C) Both for A & B for (-4)
    D) Coufal & Benrahma to Marcal & Raphinha (-4)
    E) Save
